    The download link worked, but shsxs.dll didn't do any difference.
    Can you please post the complete instruction step by step?

    Has anyone figured out how to unlock the ability to change the background colour from green to something else? The option for background colour was present on the Personalize screen in older build leaks.
    :idea:

    In the Developer Preview, you can't change it.

    Hey, how do you close Metro apps? :p I can't find any button that closes them, so I close them through Task Manager..

    you can quite the metro UI apps with the taskmanager

    I found no other way, evil metro UI: clickin on the windows start button shows a blank green interface, clicking anywhere and a random app goes up, hm?
    Please bring back the good old start button!

    Same here. There has to be an easier way to close those programs.

    All the tiles working for me...To close them just go to the lower left corner and the start button will show click on the start button.

    pure phun! : ) Wait, maybe we'll learn how it works. I found it's the same way opening a cmd.exe as admin with right click s before, looking even more ridiculous.

    I downloaded the 64 bit preview and I'm trying to install in VM Ware. Soon as it boots up I'm getting the hal_initialization_failed error. I chose OTHER / Other x64 as the type of OS. Changed the memory to 2GB and 40GB for the HD.

    What am I doing wrong? (Im downloading the x86 version now to try it)

    perhaps you need APIC and ACPI2.0 enabled.

    So, my system doesn't support DL DVD. Therefore, I downloaded the 64-bit version WITHOUT the developer tools which is 3.6 GB. Now, where can I download the developer tools separately?
